Aston Martin has released the first pictures of the new Vanquish S in convertible form, taking on the Vanquish S Volante nameplate.

Under the bonnet the Vanquish S Volante gets an uprated version of Aston’s 6.0-litre naturally aspirated V12, producing 595bhp.The 8-speed Touchtronic transmission has been tweaked, with faster shift times promised. Along with the convertible roof, the Vanquish S Volante gets the same aggressive design tweaks found on its fixed-roof sibling.

Performance figures for the Volante are to be confirmed but it shouldn’t be too far off the pace of the coupe, which cracks 0-62mph in a claimed 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 201mph.
Expect it to be priced a little higher than the £199,950 of the hard top Vanquish S.
